    Cavs (active) 3pt shooters: Lebron, Kyrie, Delly, Iman, J.R., Jones

    Rockets: Harden, Ariza, Terry, Prig

    And we're supposed to be a 3pt shooting team?

    Lebron channeling Harden's drop to the knees pose

    I don't think Warriors can stop Lebron

    LeBron is great but the kneeling on the floor and his words to Rachel Nichols about mind over matter were a bit much for me.

    But in today's NBA, you gotta promote your personal brand every possible chance because it's good for business.

    ^False martyrdom.

    If it wasn't for Curry, I'm sure ESPN would be shoving Lebron down our throats.

    Warriors don't need to stop Lebron. They haven't really stopped Harden Howard and they still keep winning.

    No ****. Nobody can stop LeBron. You deal with the other guys.

    they can stop the rest of the team though. JR Smith won't be getting wide open looks all game and Kyrie is still hurt.

    Dellavedova/Lebron was MVP for this game.

    Dellavedova with the game changing dive on Horford...he probaly main reason for the win

    Lebron is a once-in-a-generation player, something they now say about Anthony Davis.

    If Lebron needs help, all the more Harden. I'm starting to think Howard is not the one. Morey needs to do his job quickly, otherwise we can lose both Howard (player option in 2016) and Harden (if at the end of his contract, we're still not close to winning it all).

    IF Warriors don't shoot lights out, Cavs can hang close. Then it will be Lebron v. Curry.

    We have a team option on Harden at least.
    And Dwight is not declining the player option, he'd lose so much money.

    That off-season we will have to nab Durant with a max and then use bird rights to get Howard back on a nice deal that ends with his retirement. Then we can get Harden back the following season with a long-term contract.

    After the 2016 offseason we are either going to have Harden-Howard-Durant, or we are going to be fire selling the team.

    Is he really questionable? I was under the impression he could've played if needed these past couple games... plus he's gonna end up with almost 3 weeks off by then.
